Janet Gover - Marrying the Rebel Prince - Your invitation to the most uplifting romantic royal wedding of 2018!

A prince who’s used to getting his way…

His Royal Highness Prince Nicolas Verbier d’Arennes has a reputation. His come-to-bed eyes, tousled fiery hair and regal credentials make him one of the world’s most notorious bachelors. Because, much to the royal household’s despair, the prince refuses to settle down.

…meets a woman who refuses to be charmed!

Artist Lauren Phelps is painting the prince’s portrait and vows to be professional – even if the prospect of spending hours gazing at a man so handsome it should be illegal is a bit daunting. Still, with her bright blue hair and her outspoken opinions of His Royal Highness’s behaviour, Lauren knows there’s no danger of Nicolas using his infamous charms on her!

But what Lauren doesn’t know is that, if there’s anything the rebel prince enjoys, it’s flouting convention to meet a challenge…

Fall in love with a royal this spring in Marrying the Rebel Prince – perfect for fans of happy ever afters and anyone counting down the days ’til Harry and Meghan say I do…

JANET GOVER

JANET GOVERgrew up in a small Queensland country town, surrounded by books. She made up her first story when she was about twelve and has been doing it ever since.

Her day job has taken her from television journalist to IT specialist – and along the way she has visited more than sixty countries around the world. During her career, Janet has met one Pope, several Prime Ministers, a few movie stars and is on first name terms with a dolphin. She had also learned how to ride a horse, drive a tank, ice-skate and knit – although the only one she still does regularly is knit.

Her novels have won romance awards in the USA and in the UK, including the 2017 Epic Romantic Novel of the Year Award presented by the Romantic Novelists Association.

She also writes under the name of Juliet Bell – in collaboration with Alison May.

While living in Hong Kong, Janet met an Englishman with green eyes, whom she subsequently married. They now live in West London with a rather large cat, who considers it his job to assist her writing by sitting on her keyboard as often as possible.
